| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Hagia Sophia as it appears in Istanbul, Turkey, showing the monumental domed basilica with its characteristic semi-domes, buttresses, and flanking minarets added during the Ottoman period. The structure is rendered in fine relief, capturing its layered architectural silhouette against a plain field. The legend HAGIA SOPHIA TURKEY arcs across the upper field, while the fineness designation Au.999 appears in the lower field. |

Part of a sprawling series of miniature gold issues produced for the collectibles market around 2010–2013, this piece has no meaningful connection to Fiji beyond its legal-tender status — a jurisdiction chosen purely for its cooperative mint licensing arrangements. Hagia Sophia had been a museum since Atatürk's 1934 decree, though Turkey controversially reconverted it to a mosque in July 2020.
